hospital.

The ambulance finally rushed through the gate, and the stretcher was pushed into the operating room.

Xu Wuning ran up and grabbed the edge of the stretcher, crying out in a hoarse voice:

"Lu Jingci, didn't you say we were going to get married? You still owe me a wedding, you can't renege on your promise, please don't let anything happen to you..."

"You can't be hurt, you absolutely can't be hurt, please..."

The operating room door slammed shut in front of her.

The moment the red light turns on.

She slid to the ground, exhausted, and curled up in the cold corridor, burying her face in her knees, tears silently soaking her clothes.

The red light during the surgery stayed on for a full three hours.

She waited for him outside the door for a full three hours.

She didn't know how she got through those three hours; she was trembling uncontrollably, and her white dress was stained with Lu Jingci's blood.

The nurse tried several times to help her up, to take her to change clothes, and to get her checked out, but she just shook her head, clutching the thickest bloodstain on her skirt tightly.

"I'm not going, I'm not going, I'll just wait here..."

"Lu Jingci..." She heard her own sorrowful, hoarse sobs coming from afar, and it didn't even sound like her own voice.

She had almost run out of tears, and her eyes were swollen and painful, but she dared not close them.

The moment I closed my eyes, I saw the car accident, how he shielded her with his body, so quickly, so decisively, without even a cry of pain, and with so much blood flowing.

She buried her face even deeper, hugging her arms in a flustered ball, "Lu Jingci, you'll be alright, you'll definitely be alright, right, Lu Jingci..."

"I will wait patiently, patiently waiting for you to come out... Lu Jingci."

The alarms in the emergency room went off one after another, accompanied by the hurried footsteps of doctors and the command to "prepare the defibrillator."

Xu Wuning looked up and saw through the small window in the door that several people in white coats were gathered around the bed. She saw the defibrillator's electrode pads pressed against Lu Jingci's chest, one after another.

She pressed her hand tightly to her chest, the pain making it hard to breathe.

Tears welled up and blurred her vision again. She wiped them haphazardly with the back of her hand, but they blurred again, and her face was stained with blood.

She hunched over, her shoulders slumped, and huddled there crying, as helpless as a child abandoned on the roadside.

When Xu Zhenghong received news of the car accident and rushed over, he was unsteady on his feet and his legs felt like jelly.

"Ningning..."

Xu Wuning looked up at him, her face streaked with tears. He was wearing a suit jacket with the buttons fastened wrong and his hair was a mess.

Xu Zhenghong also saw at a glance that his daughter was covered in blood.

His eyes narrowed sharply, his lips trembled, and he almost knelt down on the spot, losing all his dignity.

He was terrified. "Ningning! Why is there so much blood? Where are you hurt? Let Daddy take a look..."

His fingers trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes instantly reddened. He tried to wipe the blood off her face, but the more he wiped, the more blood appeared, and his fingertips became stained with blood.

"dad!"

As soon as she uttered that cry, Xu Wuning's tears flowed like a burst dam.

Tears streamed down his face, the torrents falling onto the back of Xu Zhenghong's hand.

She suddenly threw herself into his arms.

As if grasping at a last straw, she burst into tears, her whole body trembling as she cried, "Dad, please, you must find someone to save Lu Jingci..."

"It wasn't my blood, it was all Lu Jingci's. He shielded me with his body, and all the shards of glass pierced his body. Dad, he bled so much, so much blood."

"I'm so scared, Dad... I'm afraid he'll never wake up again, I'm really scared."

As she spoke, she began to cry again, unable to breathe, and her fingers clenched even tighter.

"Lu Jingci is still inside, it's been more than two hours... Dad, we're still going to get married. He said he wanted to marry me, he's said it so many times, but I haven't had a chance to say yes yet..."

"Dad, I can't live without Lu Jingci. Please, save Lu Jingci, save him...please..."

Xu Zhenghong was both anxious and in pain, frantically wiping away her tears, but he couldn't stop his own tears from flowing.

It was the first time he had ever seen his daughter cry like that, and it broke his heart.

Although he didn't particularly like Lu Jingci before, this guy had risked his life time and time again for his daughter, so he was willing to marry his daughter to him. But then, the car accident happened.

Moreover, in this situation, he thought of the time when his deceased wife passed away, it was also at this time of evening, in this same corridor.

He hugged his daughter, large tears falling onto her hair, his voice choked with sobs, "Daddy's here, Ningning, don't be afraid, Daddy's here."

"Daddy will be here with you, Ningning, don't be afraid... Daddy's here, no one will be in trouble, Daddy's here."

Two streams of tears flowed down his face as he patted her back repeatedly, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

"Dad will call right now and call all the best experts. If domestic ones aren't enough, we'll bring in experts from abroad. We'll pay any price. Ningning, don't be afraid..."

His tears streamed down his chin, dripping onto the ground in large drops. "Ningning, don't cry, don't cry..."

"Daddy can't bear to see you cry, it breaks my heart. Don't cry, Ningning."

The only sounds in the corridor were the suppressed sobs of the father and daughter, mixed with the ticking of instruments in the distance.

……

Three hours later in the emergency room.

The door opened a crack, and a nurse hurriedly went in and out. Almost all the experts in Beijing were inside.

The emergency room suddenly fell silent for a moment.

Xu Wuning's heart jumped at the sound of the silence.

She heard the monitor's sound change, and the green line seemed... to have straightened.

The doctor turned around to grab something, his movements swift, the hem of his white coat seeming to flutter in the wind.

"drop……"

That long, drawn-out sound was like a knife, piercing straight into Xu Wuning's heart, causing her so much pain.

Xu Wuning suddenly stood up, her nails digging into her palms, her lips turning pale and bloodless, before she slid back down weakly.

Xu Zhenghong leaned against the wall, his heart pounding in his chest.

Those few seconds felt like an eternity, and all the past moments flashed through Xu Wuning's mind once again.

His ears turned bright red when he first confessed his feelings to her; he burned his hand while cooking porridge for her in the middle of the night and still smiled foolishly; the look in his eyes when he looked back at her in the last second before his car accident.

She couldn't hold back her tears; they kept falling.

She didn't know how much time had passed; time seemed to stand still. So long that Xu Wuning couldn't tell whether she was dead or alive.

Suddenly.

"Beep...beep beep..."

The monitor resumed its regular beeping, one beep after another.

Xu Zhenghong's dull eyes suddenly lit up, tears welled up in his eyes, and he ran forward, calling out, "Ningning..."

The door opened.

The doctor took off his mask, his forehead covered in sweat, and came out.

Xu Wuning's legs went weak, and she had to lean against the wall to stand up. She gasped for breath, her lips moving as she sobbed.

Her throat was almost hoarse, she was about to lose her voice: "Doctor...how is Lu Jingci?"

Xu Zhenghong also looked up, "How is my son-in-law?"

The two of them held their breath, staring intently at the doctor's mouth, waiting for his reply.

Not far away.

Where no one could see them, Xiao Ke and Xiao Shijie floated in mid-air, both of them hunching their shoulders, looking as if they had done something wrong.

The two people had just come out of the emergency room, protecting the surgery, and glanced at each other.

Eyes facing each other.

Xiao Ke lowered his voice and looked at the small world: "Why don't you go and tell the host that everything's alright?"

Xiao Shijie shrank back: "Why don't you go and tell her everything's alright?"

Xiao Ke also stepped back: "Lu Jingci is tough, he won't die. Besides, I gave Lu Jingci a pill from the system station, so I made up for my mistake."

"I stole that from the system station. It was the only one, our system station's only treasure. Even my dad didn't know I'd stolen it."

The small world retreated again: "I also used my lifespan to extend his lifespan. I've lived for tens of millions of years, and it's been quite boring. Exchanging a few lives for this is nothing. I've made amends for my past mistakes."

But neither of them dared to go to Xu Wuning, because they were too late and were afraid of getting beaten up. Xu Wuning was the person they feared most.

Just now, a few tens of minutes ago.

In the system station.

The two of them were so drunk that they passed out on the table.

The alarms and red lights continued to flash around them; the world was collapsing, but no one noticed.

If it weren't for the main system coming in to call Xiao Ke for dinner—the main system is quite reliable—he would have been terrified by the constant alarms.

Quickly wake them up with a slap.

The main system looked at this pair of brilliant minds and was so speechless that its own system code became garbled for a few seconds, almost causing the program to malfunction.

When the two woke up and saw Lu Jingci in the emergency room, they were terrified, fearing that the world was collapsing, and rushed to get help.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief when everything was alright.

At this moment.

Although their faces were still flushed with the effects of alcohol, they had already sobered up from the fright.

However, both of them were trembling with fear, their fingertips shaking. Neither dared to see Xu Wuning, for fear of being strangled to death.

Xiao Ke was still deferring: "Why don't you go? You've done a great thing, you might not get beaten up."

Xiao Shijie gave a forced smile: "I got beaten up the other day, why don't you go instead?"

"I...I was just afraid the host would get angry if she saw me," Xiao Ke floated back. "Last time she grabbed my ear and turned it 360 degrees, and my ear still hurts when I think about it."

Thinking of himself, Xiao Shijie almost cried. "What's that? Last time, she punched me right in the eye socket, and I was bruised for months, months!"

"My dignified Heavenly Dao of this small world has turned green for months... Who would believe that?"

"So, we've made amends, haven't we?"

"That should be considered making up for it."

"What's there to be afraid of? Go ahead."

"Go ahead, go ahead, I still don't dare."

"I don't dare either, you go."

"you go……"

While the two were arguing and pushing each other, Xu Wuning overheard the doctor's words...
